Okay....got a funny one to tell ya.

Some of you know that my wife and I split up about 2 months ago and that our divorce is gonna be final in about 2 weeks.

Well, all that is what it is...............a @^#*^#*&^@&% mess that will never be undone nor improved.  Whats the word?.........oh yeah....Kaput!

So, as I have decided that it would be assanine of me to mope about in a haze of teary-eyed depression, I thought I would try to get a date for New Years Eve and attempt to move on with my life.

I tried that tonight.

The lady I asked is someone I went to highschool with (thats about 20 years ago) and we have stayed in contact through church and by living in a small urban/rural area since that time.  Very nice and very attractive woman.

So, I get up the nerve to call her up.......we talk for a while about where her new house is.....how she has been doing....etc etc...blah blah blah and I lead up to asking her to dinner and a movie or something for Monday night.

After a brief moment of silence she responds with [b]"Uh.........am I mistaken or are you not a married man?"[/b]..........man you coulda knocked me over with a feather.........she was speachless and I too for a moment.  I think she thought........who would'nt....that I was trying to pick her up on the side..........doh!

Stupid me assumed that because we went to the same church and the same Wal-Mart that she must also know about my relationship going sour.

This really made me feel good because divorce has such a stigma attached to it and mine is rather ugly..........but it was a releif to know that not everyone even gave a crap or knew.

Not sure about Monday night wit her but she did say she'd like to get together later next week-end.  Cool!

Wish me luck guys as like I said.......this dating thing is gona be sooooooooooooo weird.

For me it really sucked being single the second time, but I eventually did find the right woman and I thank God every day for her and for my divorce!

Hah........thanks guys.

Yeah..........she is a real cool lady.........and she has scrupples.

Always thought she was nice but our paths never took "that" route.

More later....................

I think penicillin wil take care of that. [;)]

Gee, I wonder what internet web-site she's talkin' about *you* on?

[:P]

Gee, I'm still looking for my first one....

I'm 24 and I don't have a girlfriend!!  AAAAG!!!  [whacko]

I'll second the notion on runnning away if she has kids.  Let me share a little anecdote, if you'll alow me:

It was about a year ago this day when I first moved out of mothers house.  

Kinda puts this all in perspective, eh.
